The New Day : Campaign Speeches of Herbert Hoover 1928 $17.32 HERBERT HOOVER, Introduction by RAY LYMAN WILBUR Book The New Day : Campaign Speeches of Herbert Hoover 1928 Second Edition INTRODUCTION THE FACTS of Science have compelled new conceptions of government for a civilization which has virtually been made over in the last fifty years. Instead of the simple farm, village, and small seaport social structure of our forefathers we have the intricate, delicately balanced, interdependent economic organization of the present, with its intimate relationships to all peoples in all parts of the world. Human needs, aspirations, passions, and desires have not changed since the Declaration of Independence and the creation of our Constitution. The importance of keeping intact the rights of individuals and of developing their duties and responsibilities to society is now paramount. The Presidential campaign of 1928 was as significant as that of 1860. Not since the Lincoln-Douglas debates has the country followed the issues of a campaign with more intensity. The speeches of Mr. Hoover were measured statements of a new liberalism facing new conditions with courage and with confidence in the individual human being to act wisely for himself and for his neighbors. They clarified the citizen's relationship to the great economic mechanism resulting from the practical applications of invention, discovery, and widespread education. These speeches visualized those methods of entering upon the corning constructive period which will lead to equal opportunities for the youth of the United States of America in accordance with their abilities and industry. The Stanford University Press asked for the privilege of publishing these addresses of Mr. Hoover so that a permanent and authoritative record would be available. Just as his life and deeds have been an inspiration to generations of Stanford men and women, we think that these speeches will stimulate, guide, and hearten the people of our great democracy in the critical and formative years now before us.

Bennett Book Hutterian Brethren The Agricultural Economy and Social Organization of a Communal People John W. Bennett The Hutterian Brethren, an Anabaptist sect that practices strict communal living based on religious principles, is here studies through a detailed examination of six colonies in southwestern Saskatchewan. Unlike the Amish (also an Anabaptist group although only partly communal), the Hutterians do not reject modern technology. Organized in colonies of 130 to 150 people on communal farms, they have flourished economically in the forbidding natural environment of the Great Plains area. The author’s objectives are to show how one group of typical colonies found their land, established their agricultural economy, and worked out relations with the local inhabitants, and to discover why they Hutterites have been so successful. Among the topics discussed are family and kinship, instrumental organization, agricultural management and decision-making, methods of production, and patterns of change in Hutterian society and technology. Of special interest is the comparison of the Hutterian colony and the Israeli Kibbutz as examples of enduring communal societies. John W. Bennett is Professor of Anthropology and Sociology at Washington University, St. Louis. This is a reproduction edition from a scanned copy of the original work (ISBN 080470144X).
